Rahul Gandhi Slams Government’s Inept Handling Of COVID-19 Crisis, Says It Is Indulging In A Sham Of A Vaccine Festival

Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi has once again attacked the Modi government over the handling of the COVID-19 situation and alleged that it is only indulging in a “sham” of a ‘vaccine festival’.

He also alleged that there is no testing, no beds in hospitals, neither ventilators or oxygen and vaccine is also not available.

Gandhi also took a jibe asking what PM-CARES is doing, as huge donations were given to the fund for handling COVID-19 situation.

“There are no tests or beds in hospitals. There are no ventilators or oxygen. The vaccine is also not there. But there is a sham of a festival. PM-CARES?” he asked.

His attack came after the government celebrated the ‘Tika Utsav’ (vaccine festival) from April 11 to 14.

Earlier Rahul had lashed out at the government for its U- Turn on foreign vaccine. Government has apparently given nod to Russian made COVID vaccine Sputnik V after green signal from DCGI ( drugs Controller General of India )
